The state of New Mexico may soon have an official aroma, thanks in no small part to the spirited advocacy<\/a> of a fifth-grade class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 188 would designate “the aroma of green chile roasting in the fall” as the “official aroma of New Mexico.”<\/p>\n

The bill is sponsored by state Sen. William P. Soules, D-Las Cruces.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 31, the bill unanimously cleared the Senate Indian, Rural and Cultural Affairs Committee by a 5-0 vote.<\/p>\n

A fifth-grade class from Monte Vista Elementary School in Las Cruces, New Mexico<\/a>, served as the “expert witnesses” for the hearing and appeared virtually from their classroom, as the Albuquerque Journal noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Is there anyone in the room who does not know what chile roasting<\/a> smells like?” asked one of the students in the hearing, the publication pointed out.<\/p>\n

The initiative began last fall when state Sen. Soules, a retired teacher, visited Monte Vista Elementary School along with another state senator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The students then began a letter writing campaign, researching the possibility of a “state aroma,” and worked on their public speaking skills, he told the Albuquerque Journal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s very unique to our state,” the Las Cruces Democrat said of roasting chili, as the Associated Press reported. “I have tried to think of any other state that has a smell or aroma that is that distinctive statewide, and I can\u2019t think of any,” the senator also said, as the AP noted.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the senator’s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re going to be telling their grandkids<\/a> about how they were part of making this happen,” Soules also said, as the Albuquerque Journal reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The students were quick on their feet during questioning.<\/p>\n

After one senator raised the idea of other smells \u2014 such as dairies and oil wells \u2014 being included as the official state aroma, a student replied that these smells were not unique to New Mexico.<\/p>\n

A fiscal impact analysis of Senate Bill 188 said that the legislation “may have a positive, though difficult to calculate, impact on tourism to the state,” according to the same source.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The New Mexico Tourism Department reports that peak tourist season typically begins in March and tapers down toward the end of October, which would intersect with peak green-chile aromas,” said the analysis.<\/p>\n

The fiscal impact analysis also poked fun at New Mexico’s neighboring state of Colorado \u2013 a state with “consistently” higher tourism rates. <\/p>\n

“The new state aroma could help draw visitors away<\/a> from Colorado, which, for some reason, thinks it has green chile comparable to that of New Mexico,” said the analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The declaration of a “state aroma” would also serve as a way for “potentially increasing New Mexico-related trivia,” the analysis also said.<\/p>\n

New Mexico has a number of unusual official state symbols.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to the more typical designation of state flower (yucca flower), state bird (roadrunner) and state tree (pinion tree), New Mexico also has a designated state aircraft (hot air balloon), cookie (bizcochito) and necklace (Native American squash blossom necklace), the state’s website says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chile pepper also plays a role in three of New Mexico’s existing official state symbols: the state’s official vegetable, plus its official question and official answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chile and the pinto bean are the official vegetables of the state of New Mexico, says the state’s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In another legislative quirk, the state’s “official question” is “Red or green?” \u2014 referring to the preference of chile color \u2014 and the official answer is “Red and green or Christmas.”<\/p>\n

“Christmas” refers to a mixture of red and green chilies, notes the state site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the bill passes, New Mexico would be the first state with an official aroma.\u00a0<\/p>\n
